  text: 'The digital transformation of organizations in the industrial sector is primarily
    driven by the opportunity to increase productivity while simultaneously reducing
    costs through integration into a cyber-physical system. One way to fully tap the
    potential of a cyber-physical system is the concept of the digital twin, i.e.,
    the real-time digital representation of machines and resources involved – including
    human resources. The vision of representing humans by digital twins primarily
    aims at increasing economic benefits. The digital twin of a human, however, cannot
    be designed in a similar way to that of a machine. The human digital twin shall
    rather enable humans to act within the cyber-physical system. It therefore offers
    humans a power of control and the opportunity to provide feedback. The concept
    of the digital twin is still in its infancy and raises many questions in particular
    from an educational perspective. The contribution aims at answering the following
    questions and refers to the example of team learning: Which and how much data
    should and may the digital twin contain in order to support humans in their learning?
    To what extent will humans be able to control and design their own learning? How
    may skills, experiences, and social interactions of humans be represented in the
    digital twin; their growth and further development, respectively? With cyber-physical
    systems transcending corporate, national, and legal boundaries, what learning
    culture will be the frame of reference for the involved organizations?'
